Chapter 7
Naruto shifted and Sasuke stirred and sat up blearily opening his eyes. He looked at Naruto with hazed sleep eyes before he brought his hand up to cover his yawn. Naruto stood and leapt to a nearby limb and took a small bottle from his pack, he took a swig and swished it in his mouth before spitting it out.
He tossed the bottle over his shoulder to Sasuke who stood quickly and caught it. Sasuke looked at the bottle, Mouthwash eh? He took a swig of the minty liquid, swished it around in his mouth, spit it out and tossed the bottle back. Naruto caught it in the air and looked at Sasuke over his shoulder, "Rations for breakfast, then we get going again."
Sasuke sighed, he never did like those tasteless ration bars. Naruto tossed him one and got one for himself as well as a canteen of water. They ate quickly and put the trash in a side pocket on Naruto's pack before taking a quick drink of water and heading out. Naruto led the way in silence and it was soon approaching noon before both of them stopped abruptly.
Sasuke leapt off the limb he had been standing on to another one behind him as shuriken landed where he had stood. He looked over at Naruto who was tensed and looking around them. Sasuke scowled to himself, Why hadn't I sensed them approaching before now?
He leapt back again and then across as he noticed that the shuriken were trying to separate him from Naruto. Naruto was now three of four trees in front of him. Naruto glanced over at him and glanced up then back to him. Sasuke smirked and when the shower of kunai and shuriken came to attack them again they both jumped up into the air out of the way and then started running up the tree.
They quickly made it all the way to the top and then Naruto glanced over at Sasuke and signaled for him to come his way while he went back down. Sasuke sighed and gave a slight nod. He leapt towards Naruto jumped across the tops of the trees easily as Naruto jumped from the tree and back into the trees.
He heard the clash of metal against metal and then he heard three angry yells. He stopped abruptly when he felt an approaching chakra and took out a few of his kunai. He wasn't entirely helpless, he just didn't have all that much chakra at the moment. He parried the masked ninja as he lunged at him with a sword. Then Sasuke turned on the top branch of the tree and aimed a kick at the guys' face. His opponent dodged and quickly leapt away only to lung again with a downward slash.
Sasuke turned just as the slash came down to strike him and aimed to stab the opponent in the throat. His attack was blocked, but his kick was not, Sasuke knocked the katana from the guys grip and snatched it out of the air. Then before the guy could react at all Sasuke delivered a downward slash, enough to hurt, but not kill. The guy staggered back after the blow. Sasuke lunged and aimed to stab the guy in the stomach, but he was blocked by a kunai. He countered with a kunai of his own in the guys shoulder and then spun on the ball of his foot and kicked his opponent in the face sending him across the tree tops and then down. He whirled with a kunai aimed at the throat when Naruto appeared right behind him.
Naruto caught his wrist and Sasuke relaxed and pulled his wrist free. Naruto grinned, "You're still slow as hell."
"Hmph," was all Sasuke said as he followed Naruto back down into the trees and they headed towards the village again. Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little better after the fight, he didn't feel as useless anymore. But by the time they located a place to rest for the night he felt utterly wiped out. Naruto looked at him as they finished their rations and both took a drink from the canteen.
"Do you plan on becoming a full fledged ninja again Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked at him, "I don't know right now," he handed Naruto the canteen and leaned back against the trunk of the tree they were sitting in. Naruto was perched on a limb an arms reach to his left. Naruto nodded, "Hmm, well you would have to get back to some real training first."
Sasuke scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest. He closed his eyes and tried to pretend he hadn't heard Naruto. It was never something he could do, tonight was no different. Naruto jumped over to sit on his heels on the limb where Sasuke was making Sasuke scowl and glare at him.
"You know you still want to be a ninja Sasuke, it's a part of who you are."
Sasuke sighed, "No, being a ninja is what I have always been believed to be. I never said it was what I actually wanted to do."
Naruto smirked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes at him, "What does it matter?"
Naruto started to bounce on the limb making Sasuke get to his feet to keep his balance.
"Tell me teme, come on!"
Sasuke huffed, "No."
Naruto stood up and placed his hands on either side of Sasuke's head and said in a serious tone, "Tell me teme."
Sasuke looked off to the side, "No. Leave it be dobe, it's not something that can be achieved any longer."
Naruto slammed his hand on the left side of Sasuke's head against the tree trunk and Sasuke looked sharply at him.
"Don't say shit like that, tell me what it that you want to do."
Sasuke sighed, "I wanted to work at the Police Station my father owned. But seeing as how it was destroyed and my clan was actually evil, that's not something that can be done."
Naruto nodded, "Hmm," he was silent in thought for a moment and then a huge grin crossed his face and Sasuke let out a sigh again.
"Dobe, whatever you're thinking, it won't work."
Naruto still continued to grin as though he hadn't heard him.
"You could convince the Hokage to let you start a new Police Station."
Sasuke huffed, "Naruto, that isn't . . . I don't think the Hokage would do that."
Naruto continued to grin, "Oh really? I highly doubt that the Hokage would not consider a proposal from his favorite student."
Sasuke made to retort and then stopped to say, "Wait, what? They made Kakashi-sensei the new Hokage?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, maybe if you hadn't of spent all that time in some warped part of your own mind you would have known that."
Sasuke sobered from the surprise and looked at Naruto seriously, "But what about you?"
Naruto's eyes and expression flashed with bitterness before he smiled forcefully, "I'm too young anyway, not experienced enough like Kakashi-sensei is."
Sasuke felt a stab at his heart, he knew how much Naruto wanted to be the Hokage, and his father had only been twenty when he was made Hokage. He had started thinking about the likeliness of Naruto becoming the hokage once he started to notice how quickly Naruto was getting stronger. He leaned back into the tree at the thought, he knew that the council and the elders would never allow it. It didn't matter to them if Naruto gained the strength and intelligence it took to be the leader of Konoha, they would never let it happen. To them, Naruto wasn't the Yondaime's son, he was the host of the demon fox, he was nothing more than a jinchuriki to them.
Sasuke felt anger rising inside him and locked eyes with Naruto, "That's nothing but them making excuses Naruto."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Sasuke?"
Sasuke huffed, "They are just making excuses. Sure Kakashi would make a good Hokage, but them telling you that you were too young and inexperienced is nothing but bullshit."
Naruto sighed, "Sasuke, thanks for caring, but I agree with them. I'm not even an Anbu, sure I got plenty of experience during the war . . ." Naruto stopped and locked eyes with Sasuke again. Sasuke was a little surprised at how quickly Naruto had caught on.
Naruto fisted his hands into the trunk of the tree and let out a growl as he looked down. Sasuke remained still where he was and after a few minutes said, "Naruto?"
Naruto sighed, "I ended up leading that war, you know that? I actually ended up taking command of our forces in that war. While the rest of the 'elite' were off doing recon, rescue, or infiltration missions I led those of us fighting on the battleground. Out of all the rookie nine, Sakura-chan, Chouji, Kiba, Lee, Tenten, and Ino were on the front lines. Everyone else was off doing everything else, trying to figure out the opponents moves, trying to stop invasion. I was there, on the battlefield the whole time. Sakura-chan and I never left the battlefield."
Sasuke nodded, he knew that, he often helped them here and there during the war. He'd always made it a point to make sure they didn't notice it had been him helping them. Naruto looked at him with a smile and Sasuke leaned back with a raised eyebrow at the wry grin on Naruto's face.
"What?"
Naruto chuckled, "I knew it was you teme, every time we ended up getting out of an impossibly tight spot, moving the unconscious we couldn't get to from the battlefield. The hints to all the other Leaf ninja of where the enemy was coming from. I knew it was you, I knew before Kakashi-sensei figured it out. I was the one that told him when he started questioning whether our phantom ally was actually a ally."
Sasuke smirked, "I guess you did grow some brain cells dobe."
Naruto glared for a moment before he smirked, "Teme, you were the idiot that left a trail behind one time. That was all it took. That one time you came to close to me, I knew right away."
Sasuke sighed, "The fox?"
Naruto gave a slight nod, "Enhanced senses teme. Even Kakashi-sensei's dogs couldn't pick out your scent. It had changed over the years, and it was always clouded due to your chakra. Trying to sense you was like trying to find the mist in the clouds."
Sasuke smirked, "Good analogy dobe, that's impossible."
Naruto nodded, "Exactly, you were always this genius, so you'd gotten pretty good at covering your chakra and your scent. Why didn't you want anyone to know you were the one helping us?"
Sasuke sighed, "Dobe, if the enemies had known who I was, then I would have been killed on the spot if I'd been found. But to them I was still a rogue ninja, so they tried to bribe me to assist them instead of trying to kill me."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Did you accept any?"
Sasuke shook his head with a aggravated sigh, "No dobe."
Naruto grinned sheepishly, "Well . . . okay, but there's something else I want to talk to you about."
Sasuke looked at him questioningly and Naruto finally pulled away and sat down on the limb as Sasuke continued to lean back against it. Sasuke crossed his arms as Naruto swung his legs back and forth. He growled, "Well what is it?"
Naruto took a deep breath and gazed into the forest, Sasuke started to feel uneasy and when Naruto still didn't say anything he started to shift, "Naruto, what is it you want to talk about?"
Naruto looked at him and Sasuke felt his knees get weak at the look of seriousness, inner pain, and sympathy. Sasuke shook his head slightly and closed his eyes turning his head away, "No, that is not something I am going to talk about."
Naruto sighed softly, "Sasuke, you have to talk about it."
"How the hell do you even know that there's anything to talk about?"
"I could smell him on you, not to mention, I noticed your reaction that time when he grabbed your wrist to stop you from using a technique."
Sasuke tensed, "What reaction, you know I hate to be touched."
Naruto stood up again and Sasuke turned to look at him sharply. He growled and said warningly, "Naruto, leave it alone."
Naruto shook his head, "No, you killed him before I could rip him apart myself. I'm not as much of an idiot as everyone thinks I am. This is not something you can keep locked away. It will resurface again and it might break you."
Sasuke glared at him, "Bullshit, I've managed all this time."
"Like you did the other night? It still effects you, especially now that you are letting yourself feel again."
"I'm not a child, I can take care of myself."
"I'm not saying that, I want to help you . . . "
"Help me do what?! Move on?! That will never happen! I can't move past anything, it's a part of who I am!"
Naruto was standing directly in front of him again, his hands on either side of his head. "Bullshit teme, it's only a part of who you are because you won't let it go, you won't move on. Haven't you noticed that you're not yourself anymore?"
Sasuke's voice lowered to a whisper, "Yes, of course I have. But I can't ever go back . . . "
"You can't go back to that little boy, no. But you can become your own person, you can move past all that pain. Instead of trying to get back that little boy or letting yourself become a ghost, you can rebuild, start over."
Sasuke scoffed, "Start over, rebuild? What for, it will just be taken away again or destroyed."
Naruto sighed and moved one hand to cup Sasuke's chin and turned his head to look at him.
"You can start over teme, you can rebuild your life. But this time, you don't have to try and do everything alone."
Sasuke smirked and replied coldly, "You're a ninja Naruto, every mission could be your death."
"I'll quit if that's what it takes."
Sasuke couldn't believe what he'd heard, there was no way Naruto would quit being a ninja. There was no way he would let him either, he wasn't going to make Naruto give up his dreams for him. He'd always thought Naruto deserved better, still thought he was crazy to want him. He sighed, "No, there's no way you're going to quit being a ninja. Why in the hell aren't you an Anbu?"
Naruto rubbed his thumb across Sasuke's bottom lip and Sasuke took in a sharp breath. Sasuke's lips twitched to smile, but he didn't. He just kept his eyes locked with Naruto's, He was waiting for me . . . dobe probably was waiting for me to come back and catch up so we could compete again . . .
Sasuke would admit to himself that he was thoroughly pissed that Naruto had greatly surpassed him in the time since the war. He could feel that adrenaline racing through him to try and outdo Naruto, but right now he didn't stand a chance and that hit home with his pride. His pride wasn't something that needed to be hit, and he felt pathetic for letting it bother him all that much, or letting himself feel useless.
Naruto's taunts helped because he knew Naruto didn't mean anything by it. Naruto brought him out of his thoughts, "You do that a lot teme?"
Sasuke blinked, "What?"
"Space out?"
Sasuke glared, "Hn."
Naruto laughed at that, but he quickly sobered and stopped whatever retort Sasuke had when his lips pressed to Sasuke's lips. He'd gasped in surprise at the kiss, but he quickly kissed back and when he leaned into the trunk of the tree again Naruto snaked an arm around his waist and pulled him closer to him and deepened the kiss. It was a heated kiss, tongues fighting for dominance, lips moving against each other.
Naruto's hand on his cheek moved to cup the back of his neck and mesh their mouths together even more. Sasuke braced himself on the limb by wrapping his arms around Naruto's neck. Naruto moved him up against the tree and his arm around his waist moved to his hip.
Naruto shifted and moved his hand from Sasuke's neck across his shoulder and down his side. Sasuke groaned into their kiss, his brain reminding him to breath through his nose. Naruto broke their kiss as his hands gripped Sasuke's hips and picked him up to lean higher up the tree so that Sasuke's arms moved to his hands gripping Naruto's shoulders.
Sasuke dug his hands into Naruto's shoulder when Naruto's teeth scraped across his jugular vein. Then Naruto's lips closed over it and his began to nip and flick his tongue over the vein causing a low groan to escape Sasuke's lips. When Naruto started to suck the skin through his teeth Sasuke leaned his head back against the tree and shuddered.
Naruto smirked and released Sasuke's neck only to latch onto that spot where the curse mark was at. Sasuke shivered when Naruto's tongue ran across it and let out a growlish moan when Naruto repeatedly sucked the skin between his teeth and nipped at it, kissed it, ran his tongue in circles over it.
Sasuke's mind was trying to tell him to tell Naruto to stop, but when Naruto's hand on his left hip move under his shirt and along his side, Sasuke told his mind to shut up. Naruto released his neck and had to lean up to kiss Sasuke again pressing their bodies closer in the process. As Sasuke was pushed against the tree more and pinned their by Naruto's heated body, his mind went blank when their erections rubbed together and they both let out low moans.
Naruto captured his lips hungrily and didn't give Sasuke the chance to dominate the kiss. His senses were on overdrive by Naruto's mouth on his, and the rough hand pressing into his flushed skin beneath his shirt. Naruto's hand came to his nipple and Sasuke arched into that hand as it pinched at the nub until it was erect.
He growled in protest when Naruto broke the kiss and let Sasuke set his feet on the limb again. Naruto tugged at Sasuke's shirt and Sasuke let him pull it over his head and be tossed over to the limb where Naruto had been perched earlier. He hissed from the cold and arched again when Naruto's lips closed over his neglected nipple.
Naruto's tongue circled around it and then he started sucking on it making Sasuke buck against him involuntarily. His mind started to shout at him, This has to stop before it goes too far! Naruto sucked harder and Sasuke completely forgot his mind had said anything at all.
When Naruto pulled away he let out a hiss, Naruto looked up at him, those blue eyes hazed and darkened in lust made heat course through him and what didn't rush to his groin went to his face. Naruto stood up fully with a smirk. He leaned forward pressing their erections together again as he pressed Sasuke back against the tree. Sasuke let out a low moan at the stimulation and shivered when Naruto's tongue licked the skin behind his ear.
Then Naruto whispered huskily in his ear, "Tell me now if you want to stop. I won't be able to resist all those sexy sounds your making for long."
Sasuke groaned, he found it hard to believe Naruto could be so dominating when he still acted childish at times. Sasuke decided when Naruto rolled his hips that there was no way he was going to stop now. Naruto asked him again, "Sasuke, are you going to be okay if we keep going?"
Sasuke nodded, he didn't know if he could speak coherently with how incredibly hot he felt and with his mind hazed with lust. But he did know that the idea of this ending left him feeling incomplete. Naruto wasn't satisfied with a nod so he decided he would voice how far he wanted to take things.
He whispered huskily in Sasuke's ear again, "Sasuke are you sure? If this continues it will end with my cock in your tight ass."
Sasuke groaned and managed a coherent thought in frustration, If you don't keep going I'm going to kill you Naruto moved again and Sasuke arched his back when Naruto's hand slipped inside his pants to grab his erection. Naruto's rough hand on his already pulsing erection sent a jolt right through him and he let out a moan. As he panted to try and keep himself from coming at the stimulation from their foreplay Naruto nipped his ear and whispered again, in a deeper tone, "Answer me teme."
"Haa," Naruto's thumb spread the precum around the head. Sasuke tried again, "Don't . . . " Naruto licked the shell of his ear, "Nghh, don't s-stop . . . dobe."
Naruto grinned and traced a finger up Sasuke's erection. It had normally taken some foreplay from his partner to get him as achingly hard as he was right now. But the sounds Sasuke was making along with when his hand had touched that pulsing, swollen, heated flesh of his erection had sent blood rushing straight to his erection. It was straining against his pants to the point where it hurt.
"You're sure Sasuke?"
Sasuke growled when Naruto moved away and he glared at Naruto as their eyes met."If you ask me one more time I will end up killing you."
Naruto laughed and reached forward to undo Sasuke's pants, Sasuke's hands grabbed hold of his shirt and once Naruto had Sasuke's pants undone he pulled back to remove his vest and the two shirts. He shivered from the cold and jumped when Sasuke's cold hands touched his chest before smoothing up to his shoulders and pulling him to him.
Sasuke took charge of the kiss this time, but it wasn't long before Naruto took control again. He placed his hands on Sasuke's hips and hooked his fingers into the hem of the shorts, spandex, and boxers and pulled them down. Sasuke helped him remove them and shuddered as Naruto's hands smoothed up his thighs and then around to the inside of his knees.
When Naruto pressed him against the tree again after moving his legs to rest on his hips Sasuke nearly screamed at the feeling of his swollen erection being pressed into Naruto's and his stomach. Naruto smirked and pulled away from the kiss, Sasuke let out a low groan when Naruto shifted and one hand smoothed up his leg to cup his ass as Naruto's other hand started to work with undoing his own pants. He first took out a small tube from his pocket. Sasuke raised an eyebrow before smirking, "You carry lube in your pocket?"
Naruto's answer was rolling his hips which caused Sasuke to lean his head back against the tree and bite his lip to stifle another moan. Naruto smirked, "Only when I have you around."
Sasuke shuddered and looked back at Naruto as he tried to remove his pants and boxers with one hand, that also had lube in it. Sasuke shifted and managed to bend his legs enough to push the offending clothes keeping him from seeing what he wanted. Naruto let out a deep chuckle and stepped out of his pants when they pooled around his ankles. Sasuke groaned when Naruto pressed him fully against the tree and his heated body again.
He could feel Naruto's engorged cock rub against his ass. Naruto moved his hand from his ass to grab Sasuke's thighs again to press them closer together. Sasuke let out a deep moan at the friction of the movement.
Naruto smirked again, something that was getting on his nerves, but he kept forgetting that it irritated him when Naruto moved, or his hands did something, or his mouth. That damn mouth that had latched onto his neck again, he was going to die from the lack of blood flow to his brain if blood kept rushing to his groin and his cheeks. He was having to hard a time concentrating on breathing and trying not to moan to really care.
Naruto laughed in his mind at how hard Sasuke wanted to keep from moaning, which he was failing at miserably. He held the lube in his hand and popped the top off with his thumb as he trailed kisses along Sasuke's jawline and chest. He coated three fingers generously with the lube before he tossed it over to their pile of clothes using chakra to make sure it landed somewhere it wouldn't fall.
He was grateful they had found a tree with enough room for him to stand with both feet facing the trunk. But there wasn't enough space to lay down. It was aggravating, he knew it would be uncomfortable for Sasuke this way, but he hadn't complained yet. No, but he will tomorrow.
Naruto wished he could block out his mind, but if he did that he wouldn't be able to focus on making this as painless as he could for Sasuke, the last thing he wanted was to hurt the teme.
He focused on his task and kissed said teme deeply as he ran one finger over the crack of Sasuke's ass. When his finger ran over the pucker Sasuke jumped. Naruto broke their kiss and whispered in Sasuke's ear, "Try to relax."
Sasuke reflexively tensed when Naruto eased his finger inside, he took a shuddering breath and managed to relax. Once he'd relaxed Naruto thrust his finger in quickly and Sasuke had to force himself to relax again, You could give a better warning He could admit that this felt a lot different from his first time, that had been nothing but pain . . . Sasuke shook his head against the invading thoughts and he grabbed the back of Naruto's neck and pulled him back into a kiss.
Naruto happily obliged as he moved his finger around, curling and uncurling it to spread Sasuke. He pulled his finger out only to insert a second with it and Sasuke groaned into their kiss, his hand twisting in Naruto's hair. Naruto continued to prepare Sasuke and his other hand gripped Sasuke's hips when he started to buck against him. He let out a groan of his own from the feel of the precum smearing on his stomach.
Naruto started to suck on Sasuke's tongue when he pulled his fingers out to insert a third. Sasuke's breath hitched in his throat and he broke the kiss with a hiss and Naruto waited until he relaxed around him before he pushed all three fingers forward.
He leaned forward as he spread his fingers and thrust them in and out. He continued to move his fingers around trying to locate Sasuke's prostate. Sasuke let out a loud moan when Naruto finally found that bundle of nerves inside him.
That loud moan was just even more fuel to Naruto's erection. He'd been trying desperately to control himself since he slipped that first finger into that tight heat. That loud moan was going to kill him if it happened again and he wasn't inside Sasuke. Once he felt Sasuke was prepared enough he pulled his fingers out, much to Sasuke's dislike from that low growl he let out. He smirked and coated his throbbing cock in the lube on his fingers, using the precum to spread and coat it more.
He kissed Sasuke deeply as he aligned himself with Sasuke's opening and steadying him with his hands on Sasuke's hips. Sasuke shuddered when he felt the head of Naruto's cock at his opening. Naruto broke the kiss to whisper into Sasuke's ear, "Relax."
Sasuke concentrated on relaxing but when Naruto's head pushed in he involuntarily tensed. He took a moment to relax and when he did his head snapped back and his teeth dug into his already swollen lips as pain shot through him. He remembered to relax once the pain numbed some and Naruto's lips locked with his when he looked back at him. Naruto whispered over his lips, "You alright?"
No, that fucking hurt, what do you think? Sasuke nodded and Naruto moved further in until he was flush against him. Naruto dug his fingers into Sasuke's hips as he held still and waited for Sasuke to adjust.
Sasuke forced himself to relax again and hissed, "Move dobe."
Naruto smirked and slowly pulled out until only the tip was inside and then he slowly thrust forward. Sasuke dug his nails into Naruto's shoulder to keep him balanced and to keep from leaning into the trunk of the tree too much. Naruto picked up his pace and guided Sasuke hips to meet with his.
Sasuke growled, "Go, haa . . . faster dobe . . . "
Naruto leaned into him and did as he was asked, it was taking everything he had not to thrust hard and fast into that tight heat. But he was adamant about not hurting Sasuke. Sasuke's thoughts were jumbled, he couldn't figure out if he wanted to thrust into the friction of his cock rubbing against Naruto's stomach or thrust down on that engorged cock inside him.
His back arched when Naruto's thick cock finally brushed his prostate and he didn't even notice the near scream he let out. Naruto pulled out and thrust in again, hitting Sasuke's prostate over and over, each thrust coming faster and faster. Sasuke lost all means of coherent thought to the sensations and the feeling of being filled.
Their bodies were slick with sweat and whatever since of rhythm they had was gone. Sasuke didn't mind the pain in his back when Naruto shifted angles or the raw feeling on his back from the damn tree.
He was no longer aware of the sounds escaping from him as Naruto brutally hit his prostate over and over again. The everything exploded in white when he tensed as he came, his cum coating their stomachs.
Naruto let out a loud, long moan of Sasuke's name to follow Sasuke's moaning scream of his name as Sasuke clenched and throbbing around him and filled Sasuke with is cum, some of it dripping down to his balls.
Sasuke slumped against him as he tried to catch his breath and Naruto slumped against him, struggling to keep them on the limb. Once they caught their breaths and calmed their racing hearts Naruto pulled completely out of Sasuke who grunted. Naruto moved over to his limb and took out a rag from his pack and dampened it with the water from his canteen.
Sasuke had slumped down to sit on the limb but jumped from the soreness on his ass sitting there. Naruto chuckled as he leapt back to Sasuke's limb and he wiped himself down before giving Sasuke the rag to do the same. Sasuke did so quickly and handed it back.
Naruto tossed the rag to his pack which made Sasuke scowl at the thought of having to smell the dirtied rag the whole trip home. He closed his eyes at the thought, Home, I guess as long as Naruto is there, I really can call that place home.
Sasuke opened his eyes again when Naruto landed on the limb where he was at again. Naruto handed Sasuke his clothes as he put his back on. Sasuke pushed himself to a standing position after putting his shirt back on to pull his boxers and the white, and black shorts up. He was feeling even more exhausted now, and his back was starting to let him know how much it hurt.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and frowned at the pained expression on his face. He moved over to Sasuke as they finished fastening their pants and adjusted their ninja gear. He pulled Sasuke to him after turning him around grateful that Sasuke still had the reflexes and grace he'd always had.
Then he leapt over to his limb and sat down pulling Sasuke to sit on his lap as he did so. Sasuke shifted to move, but Naruto tightened his grip around his waist and nuzzled his nose into Sasuke's neck.
Sasuke sighed and leaned into Naruto, it was more comfortable than sitting on the limb. His back also didn't hurt near as much while he leaned against Naruto's chest. Before he knew it he fell asleep to the soothing feel and sound of Naruto's steady breathing and the warmth Naruto always possessed.
Naruto smiled into the crook of Sasuke's neck and kissed the pale skin lightly. He smirked at the dark hickeys on Sasuke's neck and whispered into that pale neck, "I love you Sasuke."
Sasuke hummed and mumbled so low Naruto would have missed it if he hadn't of been paying attention; "Love you, dobe."
Naruto tightened his embrace for a moment and leaned back pulling Sasuke back with him and let himself drift into a light sleep. There was no way he was going to fall into a deep sleep with someone worth more than his own life in his mind, in his arms.
